Dir friends,
I am a novice in AI area,and now I'm learning Machine Learning by myself.When reference some book,I have got some lisp code to carry out so as to check the algrithm,but I don't know where I could get such develop soft. In our lab the students seldom use such language,and I just found some free environments for Linux via net search,but we all use MS windows here.....
So,when I see this site in google directories,I think maybe it could help,but I didn't see any information useful on it except this mail list.
So....Who will be so kind to give me some hint,"A free common lisp develop environment for MS windows".You just need to tell me the name or link.
And I am a student in P.R.China, here we just know lisp and prolog from AI textbook,and I never heard anyone develop things with it now. Who can tell me what I can use if I want to develop a little Expert System? And what is the current most-used AI language and develop environment? Thanks for you all who see this mail whatever if you could help. ^L^

CLISP is free and also runs on Windows. It's not compiled, though, but it might still be fast enough for you. Check it out. You can find it at:
There is a source distribution as well as binaries for Windows, among others.
Regarding development environment: I would use ilisp with Emacs, which works fine under Windows. Get Emacs for Windows and get ilisp from http://ilisp.sourceforge.net/. Now go to the Common Lisp-cookbook site for instructions on how to set it up.
http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/windows.html
If you're not happy with Emacs, for some reason, you could use one of the commercial Lisps (there are trial versions of Allegro CL, Lispworks and Corman CL), which have development environments which you may find easier to get started with. Note that there are some limitations, though, so they might not be suitable for you.

Nitpick: CLISP is compiled. It compiles to bytecode. For more general information on Common Lisp see http://www.cliki.net/ , http://www.lisp.org and newsgroup comp.lang.lisp.

if you are only exploring lisp I would suggest getting a demo of the commercial versions:
- http://www.lispworks.com/downloads/lw-personal-edition.html - http://www.franz.com/downloads/ - http://www.cormanlisp.com/download.html
if however you want to use lisp for real work you must either buy a commercial implementation or use one of the free ones:
Windows: clisp.sourceforge.net
Unix: sbcl.sourceforge.net, http://www.cons.org/cmucl
Mac: openmcl.clozure.com
There are many more but these are (imho) the most heavily used.
